Eight Phillies prospects -- including catcher Lou Marson and shortstop Jason Donald -- will play for the Mesa Solar Sox in the Arizona Fall League. Typically, players headed to the AFL report to Arizona in late September, so, as we wrote in this space over the weekend, it's doubtful that either Marson or Donald will get a September call-up to the Phillies. They'll be joined in Arizona by right-handers Joe Bisenius, Drew Carpenter and Pat Overholt, lefty Sergio Escalona and outfielders Quintin Berry and Jeremy Slayden.

"News from New York: RHP John Maine has been placed on the disabled list and may eventually require shoulder surgery, while the conservative estimates have placed Billy Wagner out for at least three weeks."
do you think the NY papers worry about "News from Philly" as much as TNJ worries about News from NY? dont think so
Captain Obvious: Yes, I do. As a matter of fact, I received a call yesterday from a Mets beat writer who was interested in swapping information on the respective teams we cover. Fact is, the NL East is a two-team race, and thus, a two-team story. Covering the Phillies without considering what is happening with the Mets would be like covering Obama without acknowledging McCain.
You mean like the MSM does, Scott?
